SERVPRO Responds Quickly to Dunkirk Water Damage

Various reasons can lead to water damage in commercial buildings, such as leaks from damaged pipes, roof leaks, HVAC problems, and flooding after a storm. While some issues are inevitable most of these problems can be prevented when a regular inspection is conducted. Leak detection should be performed in different building parts in various ways, such as using moisture sensors and humidity monitoring.

After a water intrusion event, rapid water mitigation measures by Dunkirk professionals can help save your stock and limit the spread of damage to the premises. SERVPRO minimizes destruction at the time of loss by quickly deploying equipment and manpower. Helpful equipment extracts moisture and dries out damaged areas. Both actions prevent secondary property deterioration, such as mold.

Effective mitigation measures

• Prevention of further moisture migration
• Salvaging of contents and removal of unsalvageable materials
• Facilitating proper air circulation
• Cleaning, disinfecting, and sanitizing the entire area

Facilitating the process

There would be no point in taking many of the listed steps if the source of the problem is not managed. SERVPRO crews inspect the premises to determine the source of leakage and fix it. Where necessary, we remove all items from the affected areas, as the sooner this is done, the higher the chance they can be restored. The drying process can also run smoother as objects would not block the floors and walls.

Other steps that expedite restoration

• Punching vent holes through walls
• Using specialized equipment such as drying mats
• Controlling evaporation and humidity levels

Limiting moisture interaction with different materials is the most critical step in mitigating damages. Therefore, efforts that help evacuate moisture faster limit the deterioration. Vent holes allow air circulation within wall cavities while drying mats extract moisture trapped beneath wooden floorboards or tiles.
